Market Street, San Francisco c. 1955

Arriving in San Francisco in the early morning hours…

 

Chinatown at Night, San Francisco (1950s)
This nighttime view of Chinatown in the highlights glowing neon lights and bustling sidewalks. The lanterns and signs lit up Grant Avenue, welcoming both locals and visitors. Restaurants, shops, and theaters drew steady crowds, especially in the evenings. Families came here for meals, while tourists were drawn to the unique atmosphere. The district had already become a cultural hub for the city, filled with color and sound. The neon glow reflected off the wet streets after evening fog rolled through. Photographs from this decade capture the lively energy that defined Chinatown. Despite changes, many of these signs remained part of its character for years. The neighborhood still carries the same spirit of community and tradition. This image reflects both pride and resilience through decades of change.

We've been informed that our Buttcheek Meatloaf ($15.99) is too anatomically correct and causing some customers to be nervous about eating it.
The meatloaf features a crack and is designed to be shared. Going forward we will spread the cheeks apart prior to serving to rectalfy the issue.
